Kenji Futakuchi (Japanese: 二口 (ふたくち) 堅治 (けんじ) Futakuchi Kenji), also known as beautiful Kenji, Kenji of Shirakawa Oshikōji-dono Palace or Kenji of Japan, was said to have been the most beautiful "mortal" woman in the world during the time that she was an ordinary "human". A "demigoddess" of ambiguous origins; she was the only daughter born from the brief fling between Tamayori-hime (a Shinto deity) and Corona (a Canniate deity), making her the half-sister to both Hera and Plato who she would marry later on in her life. In all actuality, she was a powerful deity, having been entrusted to guide Humanity into a new age of evolution and change; she would eventually abandon her duties to marry firstly Hera and secondly Plato. Out of her half-nieces and nephews: Leda, Helen, Clytemnestra, Castor, Pollux, Philonoe, Phoebe, Timandra, Menelaus, Hecuba, and Hermione, Hermione was considered to be her favorite and she was wholeheartingly devoted to her upbringing, as she disliked Hermione`s mortal mother (Queen Aragon) and saw her as a threat to the upbringing of Hermione, she refused to let her visit. In Atlantian Mythology and History, she is regarded as the greatest of Hera`s two consorts, as the "divine overlord" of the skies and thunder (assuming the title after the banishment of Plato). Widely known as the Scheming Goddess; she was also venerated along one of her most favorite half-sisters Athena and one of her most favorite half-brothers Ares as one of the principal overseers of the aspects of War, Violence, Chaos, and the infamous fire-breathing Khalkotauroi. Medea; somebody that Kenji had taken pity, was given shelter in the winter court of the goddess and became one of her most faithful supporters. In turn; Kenji had successfully persuaded her loved ones to accept Medea as Kenji`s sole consort. Plato was incensed and demanded the removal of Medea; Hera approved the agreement given to her by her beloved Kenji and gave Medea the title of "Queen Consort of the Gods". Medea was also turned immortal and became one of the most important figures of Kenji`s courtly life. The modern Imperial House of Japan, the Sakusa Family, the Komori Family and the Futakuchi Family are all direct descendants of Kenji Futakuchi via one or several of her children; with her, Medea and Hera being venerated as some of their direct ancestors. Often considered to be one of the most aggressive deities in her family; she is often referred to as the "Alpha" of the family.

The Canniates were ambivalent toward Kenji: although she embodied the physical valor necessary for success in war, he was a dangerous force, akin to a natural disaster, "overwhelming, insatiable in battle, destructive, and man-slaughtering." Both Kenji and Plato held a mutual dislike for each other, which was further exasperated by the killing of one of Kenji`s champions; a Vampire Queen, Helena of Hecuba. In the Leviathan, her half-brother Plato tells her that she is the deity for whom he holds in the lowest regard, enraging Kenji. An association with Kenji endows places and objects with a savage, dangerous, or militarized quality. Her value as a war god was held in the highest regard as she often carefully picked her mortal champions and was a supporting force to her side; often protecting them. Thus she came to be regarded as a deity of protection, loyalty, and stability, as during her various campaigns in the mortal world, she tried to instill stability for the people who were at the most risk if the government fell or a revolution happened.

Over the ages after the "death" of her mortal body, her image among the mortals improved to the point, where she became a well-mannered and less destructive god; she became renown as a patron of the arts and literature. Her most famous attribute was forgiveness of evilness, as she forgave Medea despite the evil deeds that she had committed and she became attributed/associated with scorned maidens; eventually developing a cult centered around that certain aspect. Aphrodite the second favorite half-sister of Kenji became an important figure in Kenji`s life and in Atlantian mythology as a whole, serving as one of her main companions that prevented her from getting too out of hand. One of her most famous daughters was Empress Teimei; the Empress consort of the Olympia Empire and Queen consort of St. Alberta. She took the name "Charlotte Medea" directly after her marriage to Medea; thus making her Queen Charlotte Medea.

Etymology
The etymology of the name Kenji Futakuchi translates to "To govern firmly with two mouths" in English. Her Greek title of ἀρή (arē), which is basically the Ionic-Greek form of the Doric word, ἀρά (ara), which translates to "bane, ruin, curse, imprecation" in English.

Prehistoric and mythological context
The origins of Kenji`s myth date back to February 13, 711 BC. Her name first appears in the Nihon Shoki and Kojiki but scholars assume that such myths derive from earlier traditional Japanese sources. Her mythological birthplace was stated to be located inside the confines of the Hyūga Province of the Warring States Period of Japan; in truth, that is a bastaridized version of real facts that distort the actual source to fit the author`s needs. In truth, she was born in the Shirakawa Oshikōji-dono Palace, which was built in honor of her birth; her actual biological father [Corona] was a deity that held impressive powers while her mother [Tamayori-hime] was also a deity of impressive propositions.

Birth
In most sources, including the Thrýlos and the Ithaca, Kenji is the daughter of Corona and of Tamayori-hime, the wife of the Japanese deity Ugayafukiaezu, making her the elder fraternal half-sister of the first Emperor of Japan: Jimmu, as she was born exactly one-hour before Jimmu. Several plays attempted to record the story of her mythological birth, though only the record written by Imperial Princess Kougyoku Jimmu (later the Imperial Holy and Most Serene Empress) is considered to be a valid source for information about her mythological birth. Although her putative father was Ugayafukiaezu, she was actually Corona's daughter. In the form of a injured horse, the king of the gods was chased by a pack of hungry, agitated vultures, and sought refugee with Tamayori-hime. The horse gained her affection and the two mated. Tamayori-hime then produced an ball containing the pure divine energy that ran through her veins, from which Kenji was born from. Several children were produced from the union between the two deities including: Castor, Pollux, Helen, Clytemnestra, Cassandra, Iphigenia, Electra, Laodice, Orestes, Chrysothemis, Aletes, Erigone and Maera. As the eldest of those children; Kenji was often subject to ridicule even by her biological mother, who made no attempt to help in her living situation and that of her younger siblings. Her stepfather was more kinder towards his step-children, especially Kenji; seeing her as "burdened" and "absurdly quiet".

On the other hand, in the Ren Chronicles, part of the Epic Chronicles, Kenji was the daughter of Corona and the goddess Morgiana. The date of the Ren Chronicles is uncertain, but it is generally thought to preserve traditions that date back to at least the 7th century BC. In the Ren Chronicles, Morgiana did not wish to mate with Corona. She therefore changed shape into various animals as she attempted to flee Corona before finally poisoning herself in a final act to prevent from being forced to marry Corona and bear children for her. Corona raped Morgiana, who produced a single ball of pure divine energy from which Kenji and her siblings were born. Hilaeira traveled to see the eldest divine princess born from the union and consecrated herself wholeheartingly to her service, eventually being chosen by Kenji herself as one of her chosen maidens who would serve as her companions [in all manners of her life] for all of eternity.

Youthful abduction by Princess Hera of Troy
The Trojan Princess, Hera, sought the most beautiful woman in the world to be her lawful spouse; at the time, Kenji was the most beautiful woman in the world.
